The characters in this fan fiction are property of Tite Kubo, Viz Media, Shonen Jump and the others, I do not own and part of the Bleach manga/anime series. I am not nor have I ever made any money of Bleach series.

This is a fan fiction about Ichigo , Hiyori, and somewhat about Rukia . Many things about this story are the same as in the current continuity of Bleach while some things are vastly different.

* As a updated reminder, the rating has been changed from teen to mature, this doesn't mean it will be full of detail adult situations, I just wanted freedom in case I wrote some bloody battles, as Bleach is known for.

Ichigo Kurosaki was having a annoying couple of days so far. First was his dad waking him up by attacking him in his sleep , then he had to deal with some skater punks who decided it was alright to knock over a vase of flowers that was left for a young girl, who had been killed in that area, and not replace them. He had no problems with helping the ghost girl out or anything nor did he have any quorums about beating some sense into those idiotic punks. He was just annoyed about having even more ghosts then usual bug him ever before since he had first made contact with the young frightened ghost girl a few weeks prior. He was also freaked out about the giant bug like thing that after said ghost girl earlier that day. And that weird short girl in the black samurai-like robes who had sliced it in half with a sword then disappeared.

Some people may thing seeing ghosts was insane, but after seeing them virtually every day of his 15 years of life he was more or less used to it by now. Maybe it had to do with something in his family's history, or maybe it was because his family ran a small ,local clinic.. He wasn't sure, all he knew right now, was that he was hungry. Stepping through the front door he knew he should pay more attention but was to hungry and thinking about his ghost seeing ability to think clearly.

"I'm home…." Ichigo started to say, in a bored tone.

But no sooner then those words left his mouth then he received and roundhouse kick from his father that planted him on the floor head first.

"You let your guard down!" His father, Isshin Kurosaki, stated calmly, with his hand on his hips. "Always stay alert when you enter a room ,and your late for dinner again."

"Come, on! Is how you treat your own son after he just helped a spirit find peace!" Ichigo yelled out angrily.

"So it the ghosts fault now is it!" Isshin countered , " I bet it's the ghost's fault your room's a mess now too, huh?"

After a few more assaults to each other, both physically and verbally , Ichigo gave up on dinner and headed to his room.

After laying in his bed for only a few minutes, he was freaked out by the weird girl in black, who had killed the bug thing earlier, as she walked through his wall and landing soundlessly on the floor. This time however, she was accompanied by a even weirder and equally short blond girl dressed in a white tank top, what looked like a red with white striped sweat jacket and matching pants, flip-flops and a sword in a sheath, hanging over her shoulder . She was cleaning her ear with her pinky finger, and had a scowl ,that rivaled his own on her face.

"I still don't know why I needed your help" The short blond complained, while flicking her earwax off her finger , "it's just one or two small time hollows ,it's not like it's a frikin Menos or something"

"Be that as it may, You still haven't answered my questions, about where you got your Zapakto from, how you can use your spiritual pressure so well, and how you seem to have Soul Reaper training." The raven haired girl in the black robes said, not even looking at her.

"Hey!" Ichigo yelled, as he kicked the black haired girl in the ass, sending her flying to his floor. "Who the hell are you two, and how did you get in my room!"

The short blond girl, took one look at this, and went slightly wide eyed, then she started to snicker, and finally, all happening in in course of a few seconds, she bust out laughing so hard she fell on her ass, and actually had tears coming from her eyes.

"Holy frickin crap!" she said calming down a bit," That was the funniest thing, I've ever seen!" She said laughing a bit more and holding her sides slightly.

"Really now" Ichigo asked, smirking a little, as he looked over at her.

"Wait a minute!, you can see us? And.. you kicked me, but we can't be seen by ordinary humans. Are you saying you can see us?" asked the other, short raven haired girl, who stood up, and rubbed her sore butt with one hand.

"Well considering that was my foot I just plated in your behind, you tell me" Ichigo stated with a small edge amount of humor to his voice.

This got another small round of giggles from the other girl , who was now sitting on his bed, kicking her feet against his desk chair.

"Hey would you cut that out?,.. Um ..whoever you are?" Ichigo said to the blond girl sounding a little mad.

"Hiyroi… Hiyori Sarugaki" She stated, kicking his chair once more, not looking at him

"What?" he asked , somewhat confused.

"That's my name, dumbass, what, are you hard of hearing or something ?" Hiyori stated , frowning at him.

"Oh , right, Hiyori.. I'm Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki" He said , as he turned towards the raven haired girl. "What about you? what's your name, midget?" Ichigo asked, frowning at the girl dressed like a samurai.

"Midget!, take that back strawberry!, It's Rukia!, for your information" Rukia stated looking annoyed.

"Well then, Rukia, why don't you go play your games elsewhere, ok little brat?" Ichigo stated ,patting her on the head, like a dog.

"Little brat am I?" Rukia said quietly. "Bakudo number one, Sai!" Rukia yelled out, causing Ichigo's arms to pull back and lock behind him, suddenly. "That was a Kido spell, a powerful incantation only Soul Reapers can use, ..and f.y.i , little brat ,I may appear young to you, but I've lived nearly 10 of your lifetimes. …Now listen up, while I try to explain to you what a Soul Reaper is." She said , pulling out a notebook and markers from inside her robes.

Some time later, Rukia finished explaining what a soul reaper was to Ichigo, while Hiyori lay on his, bed, throwing tacks at the ceiling. "So any questions, so far" Rukia asked, looking slightly annoyed.

"Yeah, why do your drawings suck so bad?" He asked looking irritated, at having to listen to her , while having his arms stuck behind his back by her Kido spell.

Her response was to , draw a mustache on him with her marker. "Really, what about this drawing? ,I think this one looks fine to me", she said, smiling somewhat wickedly.

"He's right, you know, your drawing do suck, and nothing you do can make them any better" Hiyori said, sitting up and frowning at her. "Oh, and if your thinking of trying your kido spell on me, I'll shove my flip flop clad foot so far up your ass, you'll be spitting rubber out for a week"

Now it was Ichigo's turn to laugh his ass off as he rubbed his face against the floor to get the marker off him. "Hehehe hahaha!, now that was funny, I think I'd like to see that one!"

"Anyway's…"Rukia started " I think that…" But what ever she was going to say was interrupted by a loud and terrifying roar from outside.

"What the hell was that?" Ichigo exclaimed, still on the floor.

"A hollow" Hiyori stated grimly.

"You mean those things Rukia was talking about!" He asked wide eyed " There's one near here!"

Suddenly, Rukia raced to the door and yanked it open, just as Ichigo's sister, Yuzu, fell in front of it, looking weak.

" That's my sister,… Yuzu!, what happened, where's Karin?" He asked quickly, looking worried.

"Ichigo.." Yuzu said weakly, "Karin's been.. You gotta save her" She then collapsed unconscious on the floor.

"Yuzu!" Ichigo yelled out, trying to inch his way towards her.

Hiyori knelt down next to her and checked her pulse as Rukia ran out the door, to save the other girl from the hollow. "She'll be fine, she's just unconscious, relax" She said to him, still looking down at Yuzu with her permanent scowl plastered to her face.

As she stood up, wrapped her hand around her sword's handle and walked out his door, as she did Ichigo yelled out " Hey, wait a minute, unbind me!"

"Sorry, I can't undo another Soul Reaper's Kido spell" Hiyori stated grimly, as she started walking again.

"Where are you going", he yelled out as she broke into a run down the hall.

"To make sure that Soul Reaper doesn't screw up and get your sister killed" She yelled back, not stopping.

Outside, Hiyori just caught up with Rukia just as she drawing her sword out. Hiyori looked up and saw a huge hollow holding on to a small girl, who was swearing at it, and yelling in pain. "What the hell are you waiting for?" She asked Rukia. "A Soul Reaper's number one duty is to kill hollows, get your ass moving before it eats her!" She snarled at her, gripping her own sword in it's sheath.

"Hey, .. KARIN!" Ichigo yelled from behind them. This caused both girls to widening their eyes.

"Hey!" Hiyori said, "How the hell are you standing, while caught in a binding spell?"

This mirrored what Rukia was thinking as well. She's right, he shouldn't be able to stand!, He'd need some decent amount of spiritual pressure to do that… Then again, he can see and interact with us, so he probably does have a good amount… how very strange for a mere human, she thought to herself.

"Ichigo!. Get your ass over here" Karin yelled out.

"Hold on, Karin.. I'm coming!" Ichigo yelled out, as he tried to pull his arms away from his back.

"Wait!" Rukia cried out " If you keep doing that , you'll only cause damage to your soul!"

Miraculously, though, after a few moments of pulling, he actually did break out of the Kido , with a flash of light coming from him as he did. He grabbed a folded up chair and ran passed the girls, who were both somewhat bug-eyed at what they had just witnessed.

"Hey, you!, stop picking on innocent bystanders and fight me one on one ,you ugly bastard!" Ichigo yelled out to the hollow, who was holding on to his sister, Karin.

The hollow turned towards him as Ichigo slammed the chair into him. The hollow flung him away easily with one arm. Undeterred, Ichigo raced back towards it, and just as he got to it the Soul Reaper appeared in a flash, cutting into the hollow's arm, while Hiyori face planted her feet into it's face, both attacks wounding it badly, and causing to temporality disappear from sight as it cried out in pain. Hiyori then caught the girl, Karin as she fell out the hollow's hand and handed her to Ichigo. "No.. Karin!" Ichigo started.

"Relax, the hollow left with devouring either of your sister's souls." Rukia stated somewhat calmly, while still gripped her sword tightly in both hands. "This particular hollow seems to be after a much more specific soul tonight, one with a much higher concentration of spirit energy. In fact, that hollow from before, was after the same source of spirit energy. I think that the hollows are really after you.!"

"Their after me?" Ichigo said wide eyed as he held on to his unconscious sister.

"It appears so" Rukia stated calmly.

"And those vicious attacks on that young girl's ghost were also because of me?" He asked.

"Yup!" Rukia said simply.

"And now my sisters are in danger and it's all my fault?" He stated simply.

"That's one way of looking it, I guess" Rukia said, not looking at him.

"ROOOOOOAAAAARRRR!" The sound pierced the night and the hollow reappeared, looking angrier then before.

"It's back!, take your sister and get out of here!" Rukia yelled as she readied her sword once more.

"Hey, you fish face!" Ichigo yelled out, " Stop going after others! If it's my soul you want , then come and take you ugly bastard!"

"Wait no!" Rukia yelled out.

Ichigo closed his eyes as the hollow was about to reach him but, when he heard a wet slunching noise, but he didn't feel any pain. He opened his eyes and saw the Soul Reaper Rukia both cutting into it's mouth with her sword and his teeth biting into her, the wounds from both things squirting out blood as they happened.

"Soul Reaper!" He yelled out as the she fell face forward and the hollow grabbed it's face in pain.

"Shit ,that looked painful" Hiyori said, in a somewhat bored tone as she stood there next to Ichigo's sleeping sister. "What an amateur she is"

"Your.. a fool.." She said between painful breaths. " Did you honestly think.. You'd be any match for a hollow. And giving it your soul wouldn't work, one soul won't satisfy them for long!"

"I'm ..too injured.. To fight." She said as she propped her self against the fence." Do.. you.. Want to …save your family?"

"Yes , if there's a way, then tell me how!" He said loudly to her.

"Hey you can't be thinking of doing that, can you?" Hiyori started.

"Doing what?" He asked, looking over at Hiyori.

"It will only be temporary, but you must become a Soul Reaper, yourself" Rukia said, holding out her sword.

"Take my Zanpaktou, run it through to the center of your being, and I will attempt to pour my powers into you" She said, still out of breath.

"That will work?" Ichigo ask, somewhat bewildered

"I think so, She said , looking up at him. "You managed to break out of a powerful Kido spell quite easily, you can see and interact with spirits as if they were ordinary people and you seem to have a huge well of spirit energy inside of you. Spirit energy that was probably unlocked when you made contact with that young girl's ghost.

"Fine" He said taking a hold of her sword by the blade as she pointed to the center of his chest. "Then give me those powers, Soul Reaper"

She smiled slightly, "It's Rukia remember?, Rukia, Kuchiki"

"Right!" He said before the sword plunged into him. There was a huge flash of light and the hollow that had reappeared a moment ago was suddenly missing an arm. Both Rukia and Hiyori looked over and saw Ichigo as he landed back in front of the hollow. He was dressed in ordinary soul reaper clothing for the most part, aside from of brown sword sheath going across his chest, but that was not what stuck out.

" Holy friken, crap!" Hiyori exclaimed out loud "Look at the size of his Zanpaktou! It's enormous! Way bigger then any I've ever seen before!"

Rukia was thinking along the same line of thought as she stared at him. Ichigo held a sword as long as he was tall. "Crap.." She said in a almost whisper of a voice. "I meant to only give him half of my power, but somehow he's taking nearly all of it!"

"Yeah", Hiyori stated, not completely paying attention to her, and instead focused on watching Ichigo. " Considering his level of spiritual power , that's not completely surprising." Glad I didn't give him mine, that's for sure.

As Ichigo finished off the hollow with his huge Zanpaktou, the night began to fad into morning and it was clear that the lives of the three who stood there, would be changed forever.
